My face has recently decided to become a red blotchy mess. Puzzled if it's booze related or not as I have recently downgraded my drinking to "heavy" (where it was previously "functional alcoholic"). Not really wild about the rosy cheeked look unless I want to impersonate Santa Claus...

yep, one of my current new things. And NO ... and aside from scores of Mormons, I'm the furthest person capable of this being alcohol beverage related. (never had a drop)
I find it CURIOUS and odd that you are getting this too. Something change in the universe? We pass through a section of space that is doing something to us? Began antibiotics and topical cream yesterday.
